My SIL is manager of a southeastern fast food restaurant. He said they are having a change shortage. He said even the banks do not have change sometimes. What do you guys think it is?
Someone suggested they are pushing a cashless society. Someone else said Trump wants to go back on the gold standard.

I don'y carry change. Any change I get goes in a jar and only gets cashed in every few years. Maybe I should help out the cause and take my jar down to the Credit Union.

Almost every store in this area has a sign up saying credit card or exact change only. No coin change will be given. The self service stations at Wal-Mart have signs saying credit cards only due to coin shortage.

Maybe the mints are shut down because of the kung fu flu.

They are pushing us to a cashless society. Things are moving quickly now to the New World Order.

Someone else said Trump wants to go back on the gold standard. That is impossible without a catastrophic social disruption and an unbelievably huge increase in the price of gold. I'm all for it. Actually William Jennings Bryan's idea of bimetallism was a good idea. A group of metals such platinum and palladium etc. trading at a fixed ratio could be done. But alas, the central banks will kill any such move.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

It does seem odd. Are coins being taken out of circulation? Does the US mint regularly produce coins and introduce them into circulation without removing old coins?
Personally, I rarely use cash anymore and don't find a lack of coins to be an issue, it just wonder where they are really going.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

I have not made a personal transaction since the pandemic started. My wife goes shopping in mask, gloves, gown, ect and puts the groceries in quarantine.
I do not believe Covid 19 is different from any other cold or flu year, so she isolates me.

I know for a fact that slumlord is not telling the truth about the change. He was quoted once in a redneck looking joint as saying " I ain't even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife!"
